FFXIV Endwalker - Part 32: A Frosty Reception [Unspoiled]

Summary: The Ilsabard Contingent busts into Garlemald. Caravan defense, shockingly fun stealth, and battling the tempered legions.

"Far colder on the earth than in the heavens."
-Emet-Selch

 


-In this snowy setting, Lucia looks like she's glowing. All the white armor in the game is phenomenal in this place.

-ALL PRAISE TO THE DRAWN CHARACTER ART ABOVE DIALOGUE! It's a small tough, but it adds so much to the game.

-This game has now done something I've never experienced in the FF series: given me a stealth challenge that doesn't suck. The tools are reasonable, the rules are fairly clear, it has some room for error but not infinite room for error...

It's kind of shocking to experience. Well played, EW.

-The banter between Estinien and Y'shtola at 26:39 feels fresh. I don't remember a ton of interaction between those two and I appreciate the writers trying it out.

-Even better? The brief interaction between Cirina and Sadu (32:21). (Poor Magnai. Hope springs eternal, I guess.)
